Seward?  For halibut?  Absolutely!

Seward's halibut are a local surprise for those who typically think only of our Silver Salmon runs.  Seward's Halibut Tournament highlights this fishery, attracting early season visitors and anglers from throughout Alaska. 

Because the tournament takes place in June, anglers will find it is easier to reserve a seat on one of the many charter vessels fishing during this early season.  In addition, ramp space and trailer parking is plentiful for those anglers wanting to launch their own boats.

Daily tickets are $10, with cash prizes awarded at the end of the tournament for the heaviest fish and the second and third place entries.
